Brilliant tour with Yasashi San - Yasushi San is such an amazing tour guide. He personalised a tour specific to what our group wished to see and experience. He has a deep knowledge of Japan's history and is very good at communicating information in a fun and enthusiastic way. Thank you Yasushi San for making our stay in Kanazawa so memorable.

Fantastic Walking Tour in Kanazawa with Yasushi - Excellent experience we went to the Geisha district, Kenrokuen, and the Samurai district. Yasushi was thorough with his explanations and we learned a lot. Loved going to the gold leaf place too so cool. Thank you!

Great Kanazawa Walking Tour - Yasushi was a great tour guide. We did the kenrouken garden, samurai district, and geisha district. The flexibility of private tour was great and yasushi took us to places we were specifically interested in. He gave a great history of Japan and I would highly recommend asking for him as a tour guide!

Aiko made this tour so worth it! - Our wonderful tour guide was Aiko, who was also our guide in the morning on the Shirakawa-go tour. We couldn’t help but be with her again for a private tour through Kanazawa! Aiko was flexible with how we did our tour, either walking or using taxis, we chose walking because we had so much Japan energy (as she calls it). We went through Kanazawa castle, Kenrokuen gardens, and the Geisha district. There was so many cool details about all these locations that we wouldn’t have known without Aiko. She is so knowledgeable about Kanazawa’s history and culture and spoke with great English. Combined with her cheery personality, I can say without a doubt that she is the great tour guide in Kanazawa! We would love to meet with her again one day!

Castle and park - AIKO was very kind and speaks very understandable English. Short but interesting tour. They do a lot of advertising, so they always ask for photos and reviews
